I finally got around to designing a product at Envelop. I plan to design many more.In the mean time this bird pillow is now available for purchase!

Kitchen & Dining

The niche at the end will have a custom wood cabinet. The wood is called Tzalam.In the mean time I put one of our wire shelves so I could put the microwave there.I still can't believe we're living in here already.It's only 5 1/2 months ago that Manolo started building our home.He made the light a priority throughout the house.The sun filters in through the living room windows in the morningand through the kitchen windows in the afternoon.He designed all of the woodwork & furniture as well (including the bar stools).
